John Wubbenhorst - Facing Beloved

The sensual and serene bamboo flute of John Wubbenhorst leads his group through melodies that are strongly Indian with major influences from all over (Celtic, Brazil, jazz). The musicianship is first class and features infectious rhythms from South Indian drum masters Subash Chandran and Ganesh Kumar. From dazzling virtuoso runs to serene meditation music, this is a recording that is deeply spiritual and passionately alive. If you've liked John McLaughlin's "Shakti," Oregon and Pat Metheny's cross-cultural adventures, you'll love this unique recording. This is East/West music that is "world class world music."
